One Day until BooMan's Armageddon

Giants Versus Eagles, oh my!

Personally I'll be rooting for Pittsburgh tomorrow to kick San Diego's butt (only revenge for my Broncos I'm likely to get this playoff season). Today, I'll be rooting for the underdogs, whoever they may be. With Arizona vs. Carolina that's pretty easy to figure out. Ravens vs. Titans? Not so much. In any event, consider this an open thread.

Sorry, but you can't root for the Cards.

I'm rooting for the Cards too. Solely because I don't really have a horse in the race and 'zona has more former Michigan players (4) than any other team in the league.

I'll be watching the games, but haven't taken sides.

As far as predicting not rooting, I see Pittsburgh and Carolina winning, and I think the Ravens defense will make Kerry Collins look like the bad old Collins. Giants/Eagles who knows?

Heads Up BooMan and Steven D

I'm rooting for BooMan Tribune to make it everyday in The Speaker's Office-Daily Blog Report

Yeah, you read right -- the blogs have been elevated.

Laura Rozen has the item:

A Hill friend writes, "The Speaker's Office, which sends out all sorts of stuff of course, has started a new daily item - the Blog Report, which is a daily email from that office surveying the Democratic blogosphere on issues of the day. Pretty interesting, no? The power of blogs in the Pelosi Century."

Re: One Day until BooMan's Armageddon (none / 0)

Pelosi's office has been reading this blog for three years.

Re: One Day until BooMan's Armageddon (none / 0)

then, it should be easy to make her Daily Blog Report.

Reminder: waiting on my last evening's email request for address to send the corn.

To read you and Terrance I assume. They probably gag whenever I write anything, lol.

Re: One Day until BooMan's Armageddon (none / 0)

BooMan should relax. The Giants defense is going to annihilate McNabb and the Eagles.

On the 50th anniversarry of the Greatest Game Ever Played it won't be the Colts, but it will be New York vs. Baltimore in the Superbowl.

That's 2 predictions more than I should've made but I'm feeling confident about my boys.
It's snowing here now (New York) and tomorrow promises to be cold and windy. Perfect NFC East football weather and perfect for defense and perfect for the #1 rushing game the Giants bring.

Btw,
wow! Carolina is getting their 'hind parts handed to them by that desert team.

Uh oh..
no offense intended ManEe :o) I just didn't think they had it in them to take apart Carolina like that. Good on them. It's been an interesting season so far.

Re: One Day until BooMan's Armageddon (none / 0)

groan? Nah, that was a good one :o)
I never saw a quarterback, or any one player for that matter, commit 6 turnovers all by himself, like Delhomme has. Sadness for that dude...

Congrats to the Cards. And I only drank semi-heavily.

Re: One Day until BooMan's Armageddon (none / 0)

I have no stake in any of these games, save laughing at Peyton Manning for not playing this week.

Perhaps Eli Manning can win another title and show the world he's better that his choking failure of a brother.
